Fireplace design ideas for the seasons. Solve seasonal fireplace decorating dilemmas with these useful tips!

A fireplace is a very desirable feature in any home. There is nothing more romantic than the sound and sight of a crackling and burning fire. Fireplaces should be a major focal point in rooms and special attention should be paid to making designs attractive and dramatic. However when there is no fire, that black void is very noticeable. Here are some interior design ideas to help dress up fireplaces.

1. Accessories made for fireplaces are good for all seasons: decorative screens, hand forged tools, andirons, ash pails and bellows to start a fire are just a few of many choices available. Accessories are available in any color, finish and design today - antique, brass, black, and pewter. Choose designs that suit the style of your interior decor.
2. Use pictures, artwork, and mirrors anytime of year to emphasize the fireplace as a focal point in the room.
3. Candles and decorative candlebras are an easy replacement for a fire on romantic evenings. For spring use fresh, fragrant floral arrangement for decoration in front of the box.
4. In the fall - pumpkins and dry gourds are a great addition to a roaring fire.
5. For winter fireplace decor, pinecones in baskets, potted plants such as rosemary or fragrant wreaths will bring springtime back inside.
6. Use colorful reflective boxes to reflect light and the fire and to store matchsticks.

Display home decor, accessories and collections on the mantel or hearth. These interior decorating tips will help bring attention to the fireplace designs, and not the black box.
